<div dir="ltr">Would love to see the Poitras; heard mixed things abt 5th Estate but I guess it's worth a watch. Another book rec along the lines of whistleblowing, crypto history, the mechanics of secrecy, and parsing DDB's story is Andy Greenberg's "This Machine Kills Secrets." He's at <i>Wired</i> now, <i>Forbes</i> before that. <div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 26, 2015 at 12:56 AM, brian <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:brian@fiberoverethernet.com" target="_blank">brian@fiberoverethernet.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

I've seen the fifth estate, it's nothing but hollywood garbage. In
my opinion of course. If you want a decent film go find a copy of
War Games!<br>
<br>
Some reading you might be interested is Daniel Domscheit-Berg's book
called ' <i>Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange at the
World's Most Dangerous Website' </i>[0] and is the basis of the
fifth estate movie. The book is controversial from many points of
view, but, is worth your time to tie some stuff together.<br>
<br>
Another read I would recomend is Jullian Assange's 'Cypherpunks'
[1]. And if you want some early hacking/cypherpunks history check
out 'Underground' [2] by Suelette Dreyfus and Jullian Assange.<br>
<br>
If you haven't seen Citizenfour [3] I highly recommend you do, it's
a great documentary of real events that actually transpired and a
core reason we're all talking about government abuse of technology,
cryptography and so much more. Soderbergh and Laura Poitras [4]
co-produced Citizenfour. Poitras is a great film maker and should be
celebrated with her work as a journalist. Her other works include
'The Oath' [5] and 'My Country My Country' [6] both films I have
mentioned at previous cryptoparties. Must watch films indeed. <br>
<br>
A note on the name; Citizenfour is the pseudonym Snowden used when
he first reached out to Laura Poitras.<br>

<div>Have many of you have seen The Fifth Estate, the wikileaks
movie about Julian Assange? Well never have I.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>BUT there's a relatively new movie came out about the life
and times of Snowden titled Citizenfour with famous director
Steven Soderbergh as executive producer. Nominated for an
Oscar, an action packed thriller I'm sure. If there's a
sequal - Citizenfive? - perhaps Tom Cruise could fill in for
Snowden! </div>
